Humanity on Trial, i.e., the Brights vs. Us

There is a strange irony to the spectacle of the world’s best thinkers putting humanity on trial. At the same time as they sit in judgement of humanity, those who seemingly best represent its virtues distance themselves from it. This act reflects a disconnect between the world’s elite – the establishment, in other words – and the rest of humanity. It is a practical demonstration of the extent to which contempt for humanity has been absorbed into establishment thinking.

Best thinkers? These humans who are anti-human--just who do they think they are? Ah, yes, the Nobels. They are the sorts who tell the rest of us we have too many children, don't drive the right cars, buy the wrong coffee, while they jet from place to place and live in their comfortable (and multiple) mansions of sterility.
